Chickens, Canoes And Cupcakes: The Best of 2011

A year is a long time.

And with a net full of holes memory like mine, thank goodness I take pictures.

I might have forgotten that Eldest turned 16,

and that I almost had to apply for American citizenship.

Looking back has a way of making looking forward so exciting.

If it's half as good as where I've come from, 

then I'm doubly excited to start putting one foot in front of the other.

The girls and I enjoyed kick starting this year with some sparkles falling from the sky,

while The Agronomist lived out a childhood dream and took his pa to the

Canadian/US Junior hockey game in the city for their birthdays.

We are gearing up for school,

and making lunches,

and clearing out the old to make room for the new.

It's going to be a good year friends.

I can feel it in my bones.

And these creaky old knees don't lie.

We're going to have so much future fun,

I'm letting you in on a little secret.

Lean in a little closer...

That's it....

This will be Bungalow'56's exclusive...

2012

is. going. to. be. the.

BEST YEAR EVER!

That's the truth.
